Every club owes transfer fees. Everything is paid in installments.

Levy's propaganda is hilarious.

Funny how we are skint, but can afford to pay out the highest chief executive salary

Premier League clubs : How much each owes in future transfer instalments - Astonishing

Astonishing - Premier League clubs : How much each owes in future transfer instalments.
www.themag.co.uk

Premier League clubs owing over £3billion in future transfer instalments ...The ‘big six’ owing between them well over £1.8billion of that £3billion+ figure.

Blue Scum (£491m)
Man U (£414m)
Spurs (£307m)
Woolwich (£268m)
Man City (£230m)
Liverpool (£123m)

Many clubs will in reality have significantly higher transfer instalment debts, for example, in this new report from Kieran Maguire it won’t yet include the fact that Man City did around £185m of incoming deals in January 2025 and much of that will be to paid in future transfer instalments.

It depends who the manager is for me. If we are gonna be more pragmatic, play on transition, then I think he can still offfer something. If Ange is staying and he will be a touchline winger again, then it’s better he goes.

Its the last chance to get a fee for him, if we can get 50m that is then used to reinvest and with his big wages off we can go out and sign a top player. If he stays, as a bit paet players then leaves on a free that is bad business. Leaving now on a high post cup win is a great way to bow out.

Well we havent decided on our manager, or if our manager is going... we are completely restructuring the board room, rumours of a huge club external investment, levy going... maybe its all got to happen before we move? If we get this huge cash influx and levy isnt at the helm, a top manager comes in then maybe we want to spend 400m rather than 100m? Who knows
 
I still don't get how SOME clubs just SPEND the money, whether they have it or not...
..and we're hamstrung, (no pun intended!) whilst being one of the wealthiest (profit making) clubs in Europe....
Either we are or we're not. Is this truly the Levy effect...? We HAVE the money,WE just refuse to spend it!

ALSO... how come no one else seems to be so limited by Homegrown players in their European squads....?

Does EVERYONE else have this problem, or do City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Woolwich all have squads brimming with HG talent? I'm sure they only have a few as well...
I thought we had loads of kids coming through... Or is that cos RIGHT now, they're still under 21 so don't count?

My guess is that give it 3-4 years, and Levy's dream will come true....
we'll have a 1-11 bulging with Homegrown stars, and won't need to spend another penny! All saleable assets with 100% profit on them!

Get ready.

The ineptitude of those running this club is actually unreal.

That there's some sort of mini-revolution going on up there and transfers taking a back seat whilst they play musical chairs says it all.

We should have had all our ducks already in a row and transfers hit hard to get ahead of the rush and pick up some quality for the CL season ahead.

But no... can't have that.

Way too practical and pro-active.

They treat planning like it's poison.

I mean, he also turned down Woolwich a champions league semi finalist... and Newcastle who are also in the champs league where he would definitely start.... but you are ignoring that? On Cunha I think there is a reason no other top clubs went for him, by all accoutns hes a complete cock, he doesnt press, he doesnt run... hes not exactly most managers dream is he? Look at PSG... in the 75th minute 4-0 in the champions league final Kvara raced back from his own box 70 yards to stop their LWB breaking... cunhna wouldnt do that.

From what I read... not a single team in the champions league managed to put out a full squad due to them not hitting the CT rules.

Most other clubs are ran at big losses.. thats why.

Spurs’ wage bill was slashed last year, dropping £29.2m (12 per cent) to £221.9m. That’s over £100m less than the rest of the ‘Big Six’, with Woolwich’s £327.8m the closest of that group. Spurs’ wages to revenue of 42 per cent is the Premier League’s lowest.

The ratio isn’t just low for the Premier League — it’s low for football. Of the 20 clubs that spend the most on wages in Europe, Spurs’ wages to revenue is the lowest. Only AC Milan (46 per cent) and Real Madrid (48 per cent) came in under the 50 per cent mark. That’s hardly poor company to be in, but each of those clubs have won their domestic titles in recent years (and, in the case of Madrid, a fair bit more besides). Spurs, as if you need reminding, haven’t. There is a fine line between prudence and penny-pinching.

I'm confused?
why exactly is it a big news story with us then? when Chavski and united are still looking to spend considerable amounts again.

Mbeumo is a fluke of a player but definitely not worth 60 million
glad he's UTD bound.
And for the record i do think he is a good player but he'll get found out at a big club and Brentford will be laughing at the fee they recieve.

In truth he has been picked up cheaply by Brentford & honed superbly by a top class manager who has a knack for picking up raw unpolished talents with key attributes

Its very simple the 1 defining attribute which has set him apart in the premier league this season is his physicality when running at speed

In short he is an absolute bastard to get the ball off him much like our very own Moussa Dembele was.

Worth 60 million??????

Not sure about that but glad we have stayed clear
